The *moderate* journalistic position, which I have heard less racist versions of elsewhere, has become "come on, nobody wants to live near asylum seekers".

Hotels as accommodation are not good, the way they are set up is not good (I say both from a very pro-refugee perspective). However "living near some refugees while their asylum claims are processed" should not be being identified as an inherent problem by "impartial" journalists

The hotels pose problems because they take away community assets, they don't give councils good time to plan services, etc etc etc. One of the problems they pose is not "there will be refugees living in your area". It certainly is not "you will fear for your daughters"

I've complained to the BBC and suggest you do too. We don't have to put up with this absolute endless stream of bilge. Frankly I'd be happy to see the BBC go under at the moment.
